The 2025 Japanese Super Cup (known as Fujifilm Super Cup 2025 for sponsorship reasons) was the 32nd Japanese Super Cup since its reestablishment, and the 40th overall. It was held on 8 February 2025 between the 2024 J1 League champions and Emperor's Cup winners Vissel Kobe and the 2024 J1 League runners-up Sanfrecce Hiroshima, the fourth league runners-up to ever qualify for the competition. It took place at the Japan National Stadium, Shinjuku, Tokyo.[1]

Sanfrecce Hiroshima defeated the double winners 2–0, keeping their perfect record in the Japanese Super Cup since its reestablishment in 1994. They won their fifth Super Cup title and the first since 2016. They were also the first to win the trophy by defeating a double-winning team since themselves in 2008, when they subdued Kashima Antlers. With this defeat, Vissel became the first team to lose consecutive Super Cup matches since Gamba Osaka in 2010 and the first league champions to suffer this feat since Yokohama F. Marinos in 2005.
